The correct decision. Or they could ask to see your Covid vaccination certificate in your Apple wallet with no need to wear a mask in the store.

Well, unfortunately there are reports that the CDC is saying that fully vaccinated people can transmit the virus.   Hopefully the combination of current and future vaccines pending proper testing, combined with herd immunity, will bring the pandemic to an end.

The cdc is relying on a research paper from India that failed peer review. Also, the paper looked at the Astra Zeneca vaccine, which is not used in the US. 

In addition,  CDC is going to stop using PCR tests because they generate too many false positives.

Oh, and if you haven't been vaccinated you're an idiot anyway.

I used to think the anti-vaxxers were just endangering themselves, their families, and those close to them - evolution in action - but due to the explosion of infections among the unvaccinated we're getting mutations which can break through the vaccine's protection, spawning variants which are tremendously more infectious. Someone infected with the Delta variant supposedly sheds 1280 times more infectious particles than those infected with the original strain.

The Delta variant comes from India, where most would get a vaccination if one were available - but in the US where vaccines are plentiful there is absolutely no excuse.

You may not die if infected but that's not necessarily true for everyone you pass it on to - and those you infect will pass it on to others. Since no one appears to be doing contact tracing in the US, the only way to limit transmission in this country is to limit the spread through vaccination.

Apologies for the off-topic tirade but this attitude is pissing me off.

Apple could’ve run 100 mockery ads telling people why they should get an M1 Mac instead of Intel

If you read the article it implies that the Mac Pro could be affected by this legislation as well.

West is beginning to remind me of Howard Hughes. Hew's clearly mentally ill but because he has money and fame nobody is willing to step in and get him the help he so desperately needs. They keep humouring him and going along with his antics. It's clear this won't end well.

Pretty well documented that he’s been battling Bipolar Disorder for a long time. He’s even rapped about having suicidal thoughts in previous albums during bouts of extreme depression.

But he’s obviously not getting the treatment he needs. He’s getting people excusing, and enabling, and forgiving because he’s rich and powerful.
